Hmm, I want to play with iOS 11 after getting a taste of it with beta 1, may put my server to work and convert everything to a file format that direct plays like mp4.

My setup uses Deluge with Sonarr/Radarr and I use sickbeard_mp4_automator to automatically convert & rename all downloaded shows/movies. Takes a ton of load off the server when playing back. It also has a manual option that you can pass a directory to, so you could easily convert all your media to direct-streamable.

A strange workaround for this - once you start playing the video, while it is just hanging there, open the ... menu and open Playback Settings. You don’t have to change anything. Just close it out, and the video will play.

Came here to say this. I thought it was a coincidence at first until I did it on 2 other files.

I tried this and while my file did start to playback, I only was able to hear the audio without any video, it was only showing the cover art.

Howdy, Stranger!

When logs (server or client app) are requested for an investigation, please do NOT turn on "verbose" logging unless it is explicitly requested. Verbose logging makes things much more difficult in the majority of cases.
